Trapped in the grip of insistence (Gujarati)
Who is free from the prevailing belief, ‘I am right, my talk is right’? A worldly person, a sadhu and a mahatma (the one who has attained Self-realization through Gnan Vidhi of Akram Vignan) on the path of moksha; none are able to remain free from activity due to such prevailing belief. Revered Dadashri introduces such insistence laden conduct and defines the nature of willfulness and insistence as khencha. What does khencha mean? One keeps belaboring his point in order to prove himself correct, that is insistence. Insistence is one of the biggest negative traits. There is no truth where there is insistence. One will engage himself in confrontational arguments (chadasey chadhavu) to prove his point correct and to engage in such confrontational arguments is to leave your own place as the Self and fall all the way down; it is to lose your own place and to regress. How can one who wants to attain moksha afford such worldly interaction (vyavahar)? Gnani Purush Dadashri says that after attaining Atmagnan (Self-realization), our life should be free from insistence.
